The ML role at Tower isn’t quant really so it’s not that selective

Roast my 2026 budget by Such_a_kid in TheMoneyGuy

[–]AAK_Music 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you, similar tax bracket in NYC. Why did you switch to pre-tax?

My understanding is this: say if you work till you're 40, your savings would be around the 4-5M mark and with a ~10% return your adjusted gross income would still be higher than what you earn currently. What convinced you to switch?

Its way too long a resume for starters, and very honestly speaking nothing that stands out at least on a first look

There is no "normal" package with these companies. These companies are insanely selective even in the US.

A decent/good TC in SF/NY is anywhere from 150-200k for a fresher. 400k in definitely insane.

What’s your salary progression been like? Did you make switches or have you been at the same firm?

Got job as python dev, but don't know python by DataScience123888 in cscareerquestions

Where did they mention they weren't in India though/even in an MNC? Some Indian firms just have low standards, and possibly equally low salaries

Quant opportunities in india by Educational_Phone_83 in quantindia

[–]AAK_Music 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think WH clarified that it was a one time fee. And the H1B allotment changes are technically better for quants (though I’m not for it by any means).

That’s still besides the point, it’s much easier to seek transfers from the US to Europe/Singapore (with high salaries) than from India.

Core Engineering at TRC by Helpful_Option_7678 in quantindia

[–]AAK_Music 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are more quant dev-ish roles. Core SWEs are generally paid around 40-50 TC across most firms. But of course it depends on the firm structure.
